When a real fire breaks out, the escape time may be only a few tens of seconds, and there can be no accident at this time. Remember the following escape methods. In the event of a disaster, keep calm as much as possible and escape from the scene of the fire in time.
When the smoke alarm goes off
When the smoke alarm goes off, escape from the room as soon as possible. Don’t have any hesitation or lust. At this time, there may only be a few tens of seconds to escape.
If the smoke is too thick to find an escape route at all, choose another escape method as soon as possible.
Smoke is poisonous. If you need to pass through the smoke when escaping, you must bend down or get down to move forward. In short, lower your posture-poisonous and choking smoke usually accumulates above the room.
When opening the door
Before opening the door, feel the temperature of the door handle. If it is very hot, don’t open the door and choose other ways to escape.
If there is a lot of smoke around the door, do not open the door and choose other ways of escape.
If you judge that the door can be opened, you should move slowly when opening it, so that you can close it in time when you find that there is a lot of smoke or a lot of fire outside the door.
When unable to escape
In case of the above-mentioned situation that cannot escape, close the door and seal the vent and crack of the door with clothes or adhesive tape to prevent smoke from entering your room.
Call 119 fire alarm number in time to clearly tell the other party where you are and the situation at the scene. You can also wave brightly colored clothes or turn on lights at the window to ask for help.
When clothes catch fire
If the clothes catch fire, don’t run in a hurry, immediately lie down and roll on the spot. Cover your face with your hands and roll back and forth until the fire goes out. Or cover your body with wet blankets or towels to put out the flames.
If you are unfortunately burned and have left the scene of the fire, please follow the following methods for first aid of burns: First aid methods for burns that ordinary people should know
When there is no rescue
If you can’t provide any useful help to the people at the scene of the fire, leave the scene first to ensure your own safety, then call 119 or call the police immediately, and clearly tell the other party the exact situation and location of the scene of the fire.
Be prepared for accidents at ordinary times.
Make sure the windows are not nailed or locked; Ensure that the window guardrail has a fire escape exit so as to open from the inside and escape smoothly in case of fire.
If the home is on the second floor or above, you should consciously remember the location of the escape ladder at ordinary times. Similarly, you should also ensure that the anti-theft guardrail can be opened from the inside so as to escape smoothly in case of fire.
Don’t pile up old newspapers, waste magazines, etc. on the escape route to avoid potential safety hazards.
Escape Plan for the Elderly and People with Mobility Disabilities
No matter whether there are old people in the family or the old people live alone, they should try their best to choose a house close to the entrance. If you live in a unit building, you can choose one floor or a lower floor. If you live in a duplex room, you can arrange the bedroom for the elderly on the first floor.
If you need a crutch or wheelchair, check whether the porch walkway is unobstructed from time to time to ensure smooth escape in case of accidents.
At ordinary times, we should consciously communicate more with our families about the escape methods in case of accidents, at least not everyone should fall into chaos when a fire breaks out.
